If a man tells his wife everything
it may be that he loves her, or it may
that he loves a fight, -
A friend is one, who applies the
brakes when he sees that you are go-

Good manners alone w,il,1 take you
to many places, including, the tall lelntq
of the line at the box office.
Anyway, a girl never marries a mart
for better or for worse nowadays—she
marries him for more or less.
It may be better to be horn lucky
than arch,, but the man who is born.
rich is lucky from the start.
